Grant breaks his wrist

Last Thursday night Grant was rollerblading around our cul-de-sac and fell and broke his wrist.  It was Brett's birthday and we were about to sing "Happy Birthday" and have a birthday treat outside.  That treat ended up back in the refrigerator to wait until the next day.  

Luck would have it that Keith was in Europe that week for work!!  Fortunately, I was able to get a hold of Keith's parents and they came over to help.  His mom took over cleaning up and getting the kids to bed, and his dad helped get a screaming Grant into the van and we took him to an Urgent Care type place that we'd been to before when Grant hurt his finger in baseball.  

His wrist was determined to be broken and they put a splint on it.  The next day Grant had a Toga Party at school.  He couldn't miss that, so off he went!  That afternoon I took him to our pediatrician and he got a much more comfortable and sleeker splint.  He gets a cast put on this week.

He's been a good sport, but is so bummed to have to miss out on the rest of his baseball season and going swimming.  Brett had his birthday party at the swimming pool last night, so I made Grant the official photographer.  He took a bunch of pictures for us and I think it helped him feel not so left out.  :)
